Mumbai: While most of the citizens are scrupulously following the lockdown rules there are many who are still turning a deaf ear to the appeals of the authorities to implement "social distancing" in letter and spirit.
At least 12 such violators were booked by the Panvel police as they defied the lockdown rules and stepped out of their house for a "morning walk."
